abstract

We study the transverse oscillatory modes of nanomechanical silicon nitride strings under high tensile stress as a function of geometry and mode index m <= 9. Reproducing all observed resonance frequencies with classical elastic theory we extract the relevant elastic constants. Based on the oscillatory local strain we successfully predict the observed mode-dependent damping with a single frequency independent fit parameter. Our model clarifies the role of tensile stress on damping and hints at the underlying microscopic mechanisms.

  • Non-Exponential Relaxation in the Rotating Frame of a Driven Nanomechanical Mode cond-mat.mes-hall · 2025-08-26 · conditional · none · ref 3 · internal anchor

    In a strongly driven nanomechanical mode, ring-down in the rotating frame is non-exponential: the in-phase component initially decays at about twice the rate of the quadrature, as a Duffing model with a dominant second harmonic predicts.
